Thanks for all of the quick and informative replies. Since my post this morning, I stopped by the Interstate dealer and was quoted a price of 340.00 for 2 6vs and 50.00 for the 21 inch battery tray plus core charge. One 12v deep cycle was 100.00. Seems I could buy 3 12vs for the same kind of money. I see someone posted a much lower price for cart batteries. I assume there is a difference between the 6v cart batteries and the Interstate ones? I am steering towards the dual 6vs but wow! the price. Am I missing something?
Yes, you missed that you can get the same batteries at Costco or Sam's (In the States, not in Canada) for much less money. ( in Canada those Costco 208s are $115 vs ? 90 ? in the States)
The Interstate GC2 XHDs at 232AH might go for over $150 each but your Costco or Sam's battery at maybe 208AH goes for say $90. Do you need more than 208? Is another 24AH worth another $120?
